Lesson 10. Bonus: The Fiddly Bits

"I just have to tell you how much I enjoyed this class! It was my first internet venture so I was a bit apprehensive. No more! It was great for me to be able to go back over the steps over and over. ... Also I live in a rural community and would have to drive an hour or more to even find a live class so I am so happy that I stumbled upon Craftsy. ... Gwen is an excellent instructor. Thanks so much for this class." - Annierooney

Lot Of Value For the Price

by Kjes on January 26, 2015

Loved this class! It really stretched my knitting skills and made me think of knitting in a new way beyond row upon row or in the round. However, I learned a lot that I can also apply to many different knitting projects of all types. One warning. Don't let your relatives see you working entrelac projects, because then they will all want one.

Excellent instructor. Great class.
